The Vampire's Protector — Doris O'Connor

She is a Protector, sworn to kill vampires, not mate with them. Eva Arnett is not having a good day. Not only does she prang her bike, but she is also set upon by a nest of vicious vamps, and then wakes up in an enigmatic stranger's bed - naked and tied up. Her eagle has lost its mind. The ancient vampire cannot be her mate, but she cannot ignore this overwhelming urge to submit. Dimitrius Zolnerovich isn't overly fond of those pesky Protectors keeping him from his food supply. However, when he comes across Eva fighting for her life, he has to intervene. Six vamps against one woman - that's just bad manners - even if she is a Protector. He should keep his distance, but this experienced Dom cannot resist the gift of Eva's submission, and besides, his myshka needs watching. When trouble hits the village, lethal choices have to be made that may well spell the end for them both.
